Special Events with
Victoria Laurie
Join us in either San Diego or Los Angeles
 We are thrilled to be hosting Victoria Laurie this summer at both locations!
As many of you know, Victoria is a psychic as well as a best-selling author. If fact, when she started writing, she set up her website and began selling her services as a way of marketing her novels. But her writing life was so successful that she retired from her practice as a psychic ... until now!
Regardless of which event you attend, you will have the opportunity to ask Victoria one question and she and her crew will amaze you with the answer. We have done this with Victoria once before in Los Angeles and we can assure you that these events will enchant and enthrall you.
Victoria is joining us to celebrate her 10th entry in her Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye mysteries, Lethal Outlook. So join us for wine and snacks at the store in San Diego on Thursday, July 12; or in Manhattan Beach for lunch on Friday, July 13. Reservations are required and information about both events are on our website.
